Well, the day has come: Today is the final day of the Fashion Challenge. I am wearing this
Betsey Johnson dress for a reason: it was the first designer dress I ever purchased. I thought it would be fitting that I wear it today, for Day 165 and the last day of the challenge.

| Day 165: Last Day of the Fashion Challenge |
Back in 2003, we were saving up for our wedding and had just purchased our home, so we were not in the position to be spending much money on unnecessary items like dresses. I saw the dress online at
Neiman Marcus and knew it would be perfect for our engagement photo session, so I splurged. I think the dress was maybe $90 -- on sale, of course -- and I have gotten a lot of use out of it over the years. It's just a classic piece.
The red checked pattern makes me think of this dress as my "picnic dress," and I love adding bold red lips to match the color in the dress. I know I look tired today, but that's because I was up at 4:20 to watch the Royal Wedding. I woke up before my alarm because I was so excited. I just couldn't miss an event as special as The Royal Wedding, especially since Kate Middleton is such a fashionista herself. :)
